Tips to Prepare Creamy Bean Dip Like a Pro

Hello there! It’s President’s Day and a holiday for everyone in our family, so we’re all home today. Holidays often mean friends dropping by, potluck parties, or families hanging out at home. All of those occasions call for tasty snacks, but sometimes you are low on time or ingredients. That’s when easy recipes like this simple bean dip come in really handy!

On Saturday at around 2:00, we realized we didn’t get around to having lunch and were all hungry. No better time to devour a big bowl of bean dip to tide us over until dinner! I love this easy bean dip recipe for when we want a quick snack because I almost always have all the ingredients in the kitchen. The whole family loves it, so that makes it even better! Another great thing about this dip is that it’s still just as good after it cools down, so you can put it out at a party and enjoy it until the end.

Of course, you could add sliced green onions, black olives, or avocado to the top, but then it starts to turn into a 15-20 minute recipe. This basic bean dip is great on its own, but definitely spruce it up with extras and make it your own if you have time and supplies. I think you will love it for your next movie night or party!

    If I lived alone, I would only eat “snack” foods! lol. I love little bites of any kind of goodness!! This looks delish, I have the ingredients in the house, think I will make some now. It’s already 9:17pm and I have been on Pinterest for hours looking for something to make and now I’m too tired and it’s too late for a heavy meal. This is just the ticket!

    Thank you for posting!

      I would probably eat more than my fair share of chips and dips if I lived alone too. That and goat cheese and crackers are my weaknesses. (Well, and maybe a few other things. I have a lot of weaknesses!) Hope you liked the dip, Celeste. Thank you!

      You make such fancy dishes that I think you would be making your refried beans from scratch, Marcie ;) Maybe this will come in handy though if you need a quick recipe sometime! I hope you are having a good week so far!

      If there is one thing I know, it’s shoveling dip into my mouth via chip ;) Always nice to see you, Liz!

      I’m usually kind of happy when we miss a meal if it gives us an excuse to eat snacks instead ;) Thanks for coming over, Laura!
